Noting Alabama
The Crimson Tide under third-year head coach
Anthony Grant have lost back-to-back games (at
LSU and home vs. Florida) and have just two wins
in their last nine outings ... Alabama is 10-3 at
home this season but is 3-6 in true road games,
with conference road wins at Georgia and Auburn
... The Tide boast an overall scoring defense of
58.4 ppg ... In SEC play, Alabama allows 61.9 ppg
... Personnel-wise, Bama has been dealing with
some off-court distractions of late, as Grant last
weekend announced the suspensions of leading scorer JaMychal Green, Andrew Steele and
Trevor Releford ... In addition, Tony Mitchell was
already serving a suspension ... Steele and Releford

UTsports.com /// @Vol_Hoops
reutrned to the starting lineup Tuesday night vs.
Florida, but Mitchell and Green have yet to be reinstated ... Green averages a team-best 12.7 points
and 7.6 rebounds in SEC play ... Releford is the
only other player averaging double-figure scoring
in conference play (12.0 ppg) ... While this is just
Grant’s third season as a head coach in the SEC, he
is very familiar with the league, having served as
an assistant and associate head coach under Billy
Donovan at Florida from 1996-2006.
In The Last Game vs. Alabama...
JaMychal Green scored six of Alabama’s 10 free
throws in overtime as the Crimson Tide beat
Tennessee 65-60 on Feb. 5, 2011, in Knoxville ...
The Tide led 42-31 with 15:10 left when a layup by
Cameron Tatum sparked a 14-2 run for the Vols ...
Tatum dished the ball to Tobias Harris in the paint
for a jumper that gave Tennessee a 45-44 lead with
9:32 to play ... Alabama twice built a six-point lead
after that, the second one coming with 4:29 left
in regulation off a jumper by Andrew Steele that
would be the Tide’s last field goal in the game ... UT
got the final six points, and a layup by Harris with
43 seconds left to tied it at 55 and forced overtime
... Bama was a perfect 10 for 10 on free throws in
overtime, with Tony Mitchell and Trevor Releford
each hitting a pair to complement Green’s foul
shots ... Mitchell came off the bench to score a
career-high 24 points and had three blocks ... Green
had 14 points and Releford scored 13 ... Harris
scored with 19 points and 11 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season ... Tatum added
16 points for Tennessee, which played its second
game without leading scorer Scotty Hopson, who
sprained his ankle in practice earlier in the week.
Tuscaloosa Has Been Tough On The Vols
Tennessee owns a 17-41 record against Alabama
in Tuscaloosa ... UT was winless in Tuscaloosa from
1982-96 ... While wins have historically been hard to
come by in that city, the Vols have managed wins in
each of their last two trips.
RPI Tracker
Tennessee is No. 110 in the current NCAA RPI
... That is UT’s best position in the ratings this
season ... The Vols’ five remaining regular-season opponents combine for an average RPI
of No. 72.8 ... Vanderbilt (29) has the best RPI of
UT’s remaining foes, while South Carolina has the
worst (178) ... Aside from the Gamecocks, all of
Tennessee’s remaining opponents are top 75 in the
RPI (Alabama is 32, Ole Miss is 50, LSU is 75).
Hall Suspended Indefinitely
Head coach Cuonzo Martin announced shortly
before Tennessee’s home game against Arkansas
Wednesday that junior forward Kenny Hall has
been suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team ... A native of Stone Mountain, Ga.,
Hall had appeared in all 25 games for the Vols to
that point, with 16 starts ... The team’s leading shot
blocker (1.0 bpg), Hall was averaging 6.2 points and
4.5 rebounds in 20.2 minutes per game.

UTsports.com /// @Vol_Hoops

Gene Tormohlen Named UT’s SEC Legend
Former Vols center Gene Tormohlen (1956-59)
has been selected as Tennessee’s SEC Legend and
will be honored as such at the SEC Tournament
next month ... Tormohlen was a 1959 Converse
first-team All-America performer and a two-time
consensus first-team All-Southeastern Conference
honoree ... Considered Tennessee’s first accomplished big man, he holds virtually all Tennessee’s
career (1,113 rebounds; 16.9 rpg) and single-season
(384 rebounds in 1957-58; 17.7 rpg in 1958-59)
rebounding records ... Tormohlen led UT in scoring
two seasons and finished his Big Orange career
with 1,020 points ... He was drafted by Syracuse in
the second round of the 1959 NBA Draft ... After
playing nine season professionally, he spent 12
seasons as an assistant coach in the NBA and was
an NBA scout for several years after that (most
recently for the Los Angeles Lakers) ... A native
of Holland, Ind., Tormohlen is a member of the
Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
Defense Shines In SEC Games
Overall this season, Tennessee ranks eighth in the
SEC in scoring defense (65.4 ppg) ... But in SEC
games, the Vols are second in the league in scoring
defense, allowing just 60.9 ppg.
Backcourt Scoring Key To Win Streak
During Tennessee’s current four-game win streak,
the backcourt trio of Trae Golden, Skylar McBee
and Jordan McRae combine to average 40.3 points.
10 For McBee = Win For Tennessee
Tennessee is 10-0 this season when junior guard
Skylar McBee scores in double figures ... McBee
earned his fourth consecutive start Wednesday
vs. Arkansas and scored in double figures for the
fourth time in a row and fifth time in the last six
games ... The Vols are 7-2 when McBee makes at
least three 3-pointers.

Shuffling The Starters
After using the same starting five for each of
the first 14 games this season (Golden, McRae,
Tatum, Maymon, Hall), Tennessee has used five
different starting lineups in the last 12 games ...
Senior guard Cameron Tatum and junior forward
Jeronne Maymon are the only Vols to start all 26
games this season ... UT is undefeated in games in
which Martin debuts a new starting five.
Big Boost Off Bench Recently
Since SEC play began on Jan. 7, Tennessee’s
bench has outscored its opponents’ bench by
11.0 ppg (21.3 to 10.3) ... UT has enjoyed an advantage in bench points in 16 of its last 18 games.
McRae On Hot Streak; Could Lead Vols In Blocks
Sophomore guard Jordan McRae has come off the
bench to score in double figures in four of UT’s last
six games after totaling just 10 points in the previous five games ... McRae has 21 blocks on the year,
trailing only suspended forward Kenny Hall (25)
... Should McRae pass Hall, McRae would become
the first guard to lead the Vols in blocks since
Tennessee began keeping the stat in 1977.

Golden’s Assist/Turnover Ratio Is Crucial
In Tennessee’s wins, point guard Trae Golden has
a 2.27 assist/turnover ratio ... That number drops to
1.11 in UT’s losses.
Ranked Opponents A Rocky Top Regularity
Tennessee has played an SEC-high nine games
against AP top-25 teams this season ... The Vols
played nine games vs. ranked teams last season
and 10 games against ranked teams in 2009-10 ...
Since Nov. 23, 2009, Tennessee has played 28
games against top-25 teams, winning 11.
Comparing Tennessee’s Wins & Losses
The starkest statistical differences between UT’s
wins and losses are found in the team’s field-goal
percentage defense and 3-point shooting.

school history to have 1,000 points and 200 assists.
Tatum Approaching Top 10 In 3-Pointers Made
Senior Cameron Tatum has made 145 3-pointers
in his career, which puts him seven makes shy of
tying Lang Wiseman (152 from 1990-93) for 10th
place on UT’s all-time list ... Current Chicago Bulls
point guard C.J. Watson (2003-06) ranks ninth in
school history with 165 3-pointers made.
TBA Rims Providing Friendly Bounce
At home this season, Tennessee is shooting .470
as a team ... And nine of UT’s top 11 scorers this
season are shooting better than .420 on Rocky
Top ...Jeronne Maymon (.625) and Jarnell Stokes
(.594) have the team’s best field-goal percentage
in home games ... Even UT’s guards are shooting
at a high level at home: Trae Golden (.462), Skylar
McBee (.449), Josh Richardson (.500).
Vols Faced 16 2012 NBA Draft Picks In January
According to the website NBADraft.net, Tennessee
faced 16 players—just during the month of
January—who are projected to be selected in
June’s NBA Draft ... Put another way: last month,

Vols Offense Powered By The Peach State
Tennessee has three contributors from the state
of Georgia, and those three Vols—Trae Golden,
Jordan McRae and Cameron Tatum—account for
43.1 percent of the team’s total scoring (29.8 ppg)
... Golden, McRae and Tatum also account for 66.0
percent of UT’s assists (225 of 341, or 8.7 apg).

Golden Distribution Breakdown

percent of the team’s points this season ... Of the
302 points Golden’s assists have generated, 20.2
percent (61 points) have been scored by guard
Jordan McRae ... Golden’s dishes have led to 57

Maymon and 51 points for Cameron Tatum ... 54
of Golden’s 125 assists have led directly to 3-point
baskets.
Golden Shining Since Nose Surgery
Point guard Trae Golden underwent a surgical
procedure at UT Medical Center on Dec. 30 to correct a minor nasal fracture ... Three days later, he
tied a career-high with 29 points vs. Chattanooga
on Jan. 2, and followed that effort with a 22-point
night at Memphis Jan. 4 ... The sophomore suffered
the broken nose in practice Dec. 16, and he did not
miss any games (sat out just one practice).
Last Game Recap: Arkansas
An early 19-0 run proved to be the knockout
punch as the Vols won their fourth game in a row,
77-58 over Arkansas Wednesday ... The Vols had a
season-high six players score in double-figures, led
by Jordan McRae, who had 14 off the bench ... All
five starters scored in double-figures for the first

Calipari Offers High Praise For Martin
Kentucky head coach John Calipari had this to
say after his first head-to-head clash with Cuonzo
Martin’s squad on Jan. 14: “I am so impressed with
what coach Martin has done. I keep coming back
to if you want to win championships, you’ve got to
be able to guard in the half court, you’ve got to be
physical and you’ve got to have toughness. I don’t
really care what their record is; (Tennessee)
is an NCAA Tournament team. He’s doing it by
changing a culture. He’s getting them to guard. The
second thing is he’s doing it in recruiting. I can’t
imagine they’re not ecstatic.”

2011-12 TENNESSEE BASKETBALL
Woolridge Getting More Minutes On The Wing
Head coach Cuonzo Martin on Jan. 16 indicated
that senior Renaldo Woolridge would start seeing minutes at the No. 3 position after playing
primarily in the post to that point in the season ...
Martin praised Woolridge’s energy and enthusiasm
this year ... At top-ranked Kentucky on Jan. 31,
Woolridge went 5-for-5 from 3-point range in
the first half en route to a career-high-tying
17 points ... Fellow senior Cameron Tatum is the
starter at the No. 3 spot.
Maymon Goes #BeastMode vs. Top-10 Tigers
Junior forward Jeronne Maymon’s 32-point,
20-rebound game against eighth-ranked Memphis
at the Maui Invitational (11/22/11) was noteworthy
on numerous accounts:
 It was just the sixth 30-20 game in Tennessee history; it was the

STATISTICAL BREAKDOWN

first since Steve Hamer posted 31-21 against Alabama in the SEC
Tournament on March 7, 1996, in New Orleans (UT won 77-65).
 It was the first 30-20 game by a “major conference” player since
Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin posted one in 2009. The previous two before
Griffin’s were recorded by Kansas State’s Michael Beasley and Texas’
Kevin Durant.
 The 20 rebounds set a Maui Invitational record, breaking the
previous mark of 19, set most recently by Kansas’ Nick Collison against
Seton Hall in 2001.
 His 32 points gave him 72 on the season (four games). In 23 previous college games coming into this year, he totaled 73 points.
 His 32 points vs. Memphis came close to equaling his scoring total
from all of last season (37 points in 14 games).
 His 32 points and 20 rebounds both currently stand as the top
individual scoring and rebounding efforts by an SEC player this season.

Twelve Double-Doubles In 26 Games
No player on this year’s Tennessee roster had
a double-double last season, but the Vols have
logged 12 double-doubles this year in 26 games ...
Jeronne Maymon has seven, while Trae Golden,
Kenny Hall, Yemi Makanjuola, Jarnell Stokes
and Cameron Tatum each have one ... In 34 games
last year, UT produced only 10 double-doubles,
and all of the players responsible are no longer
with the program.
Numerous Degrees Within Reach
Two current Vols are on pace to earn their degrees
this academic year ... Those players are Tyler
Summitt (Communications, with a Business minor)
and Renaldo Woolridge (Sociology) ... Cameron
Tatum (Africana Studies) graduated in December
... Since December 2009, 10 Tennessee basketball players have earned their degrees.

Tennessee Earns Seventh-Place Finish In Maui
Tennessee earned a seventh-place finish in the
2011 EA SPORTS Maui Invitational in November ...
The Vols dropped a closely-contested opener to
No. 6 Duke and then fell to No. 8 Memphis by two
points in double overtime before defeating host
school Chaminade on the event’s final day ... UT
averaged 83.3 points and 39.7 rebounds per game
in Maui while shooting .457 from the field, .393
from 3-point range and .789 at the free-throw line
... Jeronne Maymon led the Vols in scoring (15.3
ppg) and rebounding (10.7 rpg) ... Trae Golden
and Jordan McRae both averaged 14.7 points.

Chievous Redshirting
Cuonzo Martin indicated on Nov. 15 that freshman
guard Quinton Chievous will likely redshirt this
season ... Chievous has not appeared in any games
... Said Martin: “It’s just a matter of (Quinton) being
more consistent on the perimeter, even though he
can shoot and handle the ball really well. Quinton
is one of the toughest, if not the toughest, guy on
our team, and he can get to the rim as well as anyone. His future with us is as a guard.”
November Signees: Reese, Edwards Ink With Vols

2011-12 TENNESSEE BASKETBALL
Vols Enjoying World-Class Facilities
The University of Tennessee has invested more than
$40 million into its basketball facilities since the end
of the 2006-07 campaign ... Prior to the 2007-08 season, UT added a basketball-only practice facility and
began the first phase of renovations to ThompsonBoling Arena ... The $19 million first phase of renovations included the addition of 32 luxury suites that
are located in the existing north balcony, a loge
area just below the luxury suites that includes 166
side court seats, new seats for the entire arena, a
$3 million center-hung scoreboard and concourse
refurbishments, such as graphics and other amenities ... The renovations took Thompson-Boling’s
capacity down from 24,535 to 21,678 ... The
Vols’ state-of-the-art basketball practice facility,
Pratt Pavilion, houses two full-size gymnasiums,
one for each of the men’s and women’s basketball
teams, as well as an athletic training room, weight
room and film-study room ... Prior to the 2010-11
season, a pedestrian bridge was constructed leading from the G-10 parking garage to the arena, an
elevator was added at the arena’s northwest end
as a customer service amenity and new exterior
signage was installed on the building’s facade ...
The UT athletics department renovated the men’s
and women’s basketball offices at the arena during
the 2010-11 campaign, creating a new and impressive “front door” for the basketball programs ... And
new to Thompson-Boling Arena this year is a
360-degree LED ribbon board that runs along
the bottom of the upper deck.

Legends In The Rafters
Four Tennessee basketball legends are memorialized with banners in the Thompson-Boling Arena
rafters ... During a halftime ceremony on March 1,
2006, banners honoring longtime head coach Ray
Mears (1962-77) and beloved radio “Voice of the
Vols” John Ward (1964-99) were unveiled ... The UT
men’s basketball program had never retired a jersey
prior to the 2006-07 season, but after nearly 100
years of hardwood history, Bernard King (1975-77)
was the first player to earn that distinguished honor
... King’s No. 53 jersey was officially retired during a
halftime ceremony at the Feb. 13, 2007, home game
against Kentucky (UT won 89-85) ... Then on March
2, 2008, Ernie Grunfeld (1974-77) became the second UT player to receive the ultimate honor, when
his No. 22 jersey was unveiled in the rafters during
halftime of Tennessee’s 63-60 victory over Kentucky
... Allan Houston (1990-93) became the third such
honoree at March 6, 2011, game against Kentucky.
Tennessee Season-Ticket Sales at 13,200+
Tennessee has sold more than 13,200 season-ticket
packages for the 2011-12 season, Cuonzo Martin’s
debut campaign on Rocky Top ... The Vols’ current
total of season-ticket sales exceeds the capacity of five SEC arenas (Ole Miss [capacity 9,061],
Auburn [9,121], Mississippi State [10,500], Georgia
[10,523] and Florida [12,000]).

Thompson-Boling Arena Turns 25-Years-Old
The 2011-12 campaign marks Tennessee’s 25th
season of basketball in Thompson-Boling Arena ...
To commemorate the anniversary, the Volunteers
have highlighted great moments in TBA history on
this year’s tickets ... Promotions at UT home games
will look back on the great players and plays in the
facility’s history ... The Vols are 292-103 (.739) alltime in Thompson-Boling Arena, and the venue has
hosted 73 men’s games for which the attendance
exceeded 20,000 ... In total, TBA has hosted more
than 6.2 million fans for UT men’s games.
Friendly Confines
In 2010, Cuonzo Martin’s Missouri State team tied
Kansas for the national Division I lead in home
wins with 19 ... And Missouri State’s average home
attendance increased more than 1,350 fans per
game during Martin’s tenure there ... Those figures
make for a tremendously exciting outlook of what
his future teams could accomplish in the friendly
(and rabid) confines of Thompson-Boling Arena
(21,678 capacity).
Vols Among Nation’s “Most Valuable” Programs
In the spring of 2010, the Tennessee men’s basketball program was included on Forbes.com’s list of
the 20 “most valuable” college basketball programs
in the country ... The figures showed UT hoops with
a value of $14.1 million and a profit of $8.6 million
in 2009-10.
Vols Currently Sixth Nationally In Attendance
The Volunteers currently rank sixth nationally with
an average home attendance of 17,116 ... The top
four are: Kentucky, Syracuse, Louisville and North
Carolina.

The Volunteers At Thompson-Boling Arena
Thompson-Boling Arena is hosting its 25th season in 2011-12 ... The Vols have won nearly 75 percent
of their games in Thompson-Boling Arena and have ranked in the top 10 nationally in attendance 11
times, including an active streak of five consecutive seasons in which UT has ranked in the top five.
• Tennessee is 292-103 (.739) in 25 seasons in Thompson-Boling Arena.

• The Vols have won each of their last four home games against the defending national champion.

Southeastern Conference for three consecutive years.

Tennessee Stands Alone
Tennessee is the only Division I school ever to
rank in the top five nationally in attendance for
football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball in the same year ... UT accomplished that
feat for the eighth time in 2010-11.
Home Crowds of 20,000 Nothing New For Vols
Tennessee has played in front of 47 home
crowds of 20,000 or larger dating to the 200506 season ... The crowd of 22,326 for the 2009
Gonzaga game marked the largest at ThompsonBoling Arena since capacity was reduced from
24,535 to 21,678 prior to the 2007-08 campaign ...
Tennessee also has hosted ESPN College GameDay
twice in the last four seasons.
